• On Friday night, we drove into Paulsboro, New Jersey, where Ben Affleck and Liv Tyler were filming a couple scenes from “Jersey Girl”. While we were only on set for half of the night shoot, we do have a fairly decent report to log. The report is completely spoiler free, but don’t expect a lot of excitement, as it was only a couple of scenes that we sat in for. Still, if you’re interested in hearing how things look and happen on location, this report’s for you! Click HERE or visit our Exit 37 Jersey Girl Site for the full report.

• Now this is a really cool, inspired idea. The official View Askew site has posted a complete costume guide on dressing up as your favorite characters from the films. Find direct links to the Stash for movie replicas, as well as photos and tips on finding clothes at your local stores to match the likes of Jay, Silent Bob, Brodie, Alyssa, Walt, Missy, Sissy, Chrissy, Justice, Dante, Randal, and more! With this guide, it should be easier than ever to put together a cool costume for those upcoming Halloween shindigs. Or better yet, get a big group together and go as an entire film cast. Kudos to Ming and anyone else who had a hand in this, it’s a way cool idea.

• Auctions Askew is back, with a milestone week 25 of 5 new View Askew items up for grabs. This week sees an item that we believe may very well be the most popular item to hit the block yet — That’s right, folks — THE screen worn black trenchcoat that Ben Affleck used in DOGMA! It’s a Hugo Boss coat, tailored for Affleck himself, authentic and a major collector’s item. But hey, for those of you that aren’t quite as deep in the pockets, there’s still other goodies, including a cast and crew signed Vulgar poster, a French Dogma jacket, and more. Good luck, folks, and may all your bids be high.

UPDATE: The coat, sadly, has been removed from the auction block. Guess the folks at View Askew decided it was too valuable of an item to let go. We can’t blame ‘em.
